The Student Experience

Teaching at WTAMU is one of the most meaningful parts of my career, and I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with talented, dedicated students who continually inspire me. These reflections from recent students give a glimpse into our studio environment and the kind of work we do together.

“Dr. Barger is one of the most encouraging and knowledgeable professors I’ve ever had. He’s always willing to help.”

“He has a clear plan for what we’re working toward. Lessons feel organized, personal, and effective.”

“Dr. Barger is very open to feedback and collaboration. I feel like we’re on the same team working toward the same goal.”

“He’s honest and gives great advice without ever making me feel dumb or ashamed.”

“He genuinely cares about each student and is always patient and kind.”

“Every lesson feels valuable, and I always leave feeling more motivated.”

“He made me fall in love with practicing again.”
